Women OF Corfu.

Imagine, for example. this lady clad
In volum NOUS gown of blue satin
worked with flowers. with white lace
lcoverlig over her shoulders; an enor-
mons head.dress of white muslin, grit
by vast wreath of natural pink roses
and orange blossoms, with ponderous
gold earrings reaching to her should
ers; necklace and bracelets of gold, and
q thorough breastplatc of antique gold
smiths work. She is marvellous
spectacle, and sits still with her brown
eyes in fixed stare, moving only when
necessary, and then with the
utmost care for her decorations. 9th
er ladies have towering coilfnres of
white and crimson; dresses of blue,
scarlet or green, and silver buckles in
their shoes; and they are all dotted with
bits of gold. Another picturesque de-
tail is the old Greek feminine head
dress Of crimson skull-cap with II gold
coronal, from which thick gold tassel
hangs at one side. Civilization has
ousted this pretty and becoming head
dress from Athens and the Greek cities.
Corfu merits the more praise, therefore,
for preserving it, Nothing could bet
ter harmonize with the regular features
which are still a characteristic OF the
native Greeks. The Cor6ote women,
however, seem to have more in COM
mon with the southern Italians than
with the Hellenes. - Al the Year Round.

Sixty expectant-faced, bcaming-eyec
children sat close together in the larg,
drawing-room of luxurious house in
Thirty-slxth street, a minutes walk
from Fifth avenue, one afternoon last
week. Behind them stood and sat as
many more Of their elder brothers and
sisters and mothers and fathers, the
crowd winding itself ont into the broad
hall and even reaching w far on the
wide staircase. All eyes were on the
curtains concealng one end of the
room. II was sunshine outside. but the
great window-curtain were dropped
and the room was frightened from
candelabra and chandelier. The little
men and women didn't know exactly
what there was behind that mysterious
curtain, nor did any Of the graver folk,
except few who had been let into the
precious secret. They guessed there
were to be private theatricals, but when
4 o'clock was chimed and the curtains
were drawn to either side all that was
revealed was crescent of seven empty
chairs. A pianist in the corner struck
chord and in filed line of black
faced men in somber evening dress,
with knickerbockers and black silk
stockings and silver buckled shoes.

Minstrel entertainments in private

they add variety to the routine Of those

shows have been presented in houses
on Madison and Fifth avenues and

in letter from Caledonia in your issue be-
fore the last, giving a brief synopsis Of Judge
Emerson's lecture at the College there, on
the philosophical aspect of Immortality, and
l wondered then If we could induce the
Judge to deliver it at the Academy of Music,
for know there are many intelligent people
in Arcadia Valley interested in abstruse
discussions and questions of that kind. 1t
would be rare treat to be able to listen to
something in the line of Concord philosophy
without having to go to Concord to hear il; :;
but to make the occasion of interest to all
the intelligent people of the Valley, pro-
pose that, if Judge E. will consent to deliver
his lecture here, all the leading vocalists of
all the churches in Ironton or in the Valley
join in getting up concert Of high grade, or
so much of q concert as can be had in the
time before and after the lecture, which
would give at least an hour or more. You
have a number of ladies who have heard
sing-MIs. SAWYER, of the Episcopal church,
Mrs. Bishop, Of the Baptist church, Miss
Markham and Miss Russell and others Of
the Presbyterian, and several also in the
Methodist. besides ever so many other good
singers In the churches named, / hear, whose
services ought to be had, If you or some
other musical souls would take hold of it.
Why not, in this way, have grand concert:
Issue tickets at moderate price and divide
the proceeds after expenses of hail-be-
tween the Sunday schools. This would Wild

benevolent interest to work for. Mr.. Editor,
